Tithonia, a i ʻole Kauka Pūnaewele

ʻOi aku kahi maikaʻi o ka "Mexico Sunflower", ʻo titonia kekahi o nā mākaʻi nui loa. Nui, kālā, ʻike kohi, ʻo ia ke ʻano piha piha a lawe ʻia i nā ʻenekini hoʻonani a ʻike i ka hana o ka māla. I waho, ʻo ka titonia ka mea like me ka kaila mau makahiki o nā hōkū māla i waena o nā lau kuhi i kahi ʻoi aku ka lele maʻalahi. Akā, ʻaʻole ia e ʻae i ka hau i ka āpau a i ka waena waena e ulu kūʻokoʻa ia i mea makahiki. He maʻalahi ka ulu ʻana i kēia mea kanu, a i hoʻopili mua ʻia ka mālama liʻiliʻi e kona mau taleni. ʻO Tithonia kahi airman i hiki i lilo i hoʻokahi o nā mea hana ponoʻole i ka manawa hana.

Ke ʻano hoʻonaninani o nā titonia ʻoliʻoli

ʻOi aku ka aloha a me ka hoihoi, ʻike pinepine ʻia ka titonia i loko o kā mākou mau māla. Ke hoʻolei nei kēia manuahi i kahi nui nui, nani greenery nani a me kahi silhouette hanohano. A ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hōʻoia ʻana i nā hoʻāʻo e ulu i nā mea kanu. He lāʻau paʻakikī a paʻakikī paha, kahi hiki i nā mea hoʻomaka e ulu.

I Ka Lio ʻo TitoniusTithonia) liʻiliʻi wale kekahi mau mea kanu i hoʻohui ʻia. Ua loaʻa ka inoa o ko lākou inoa ma ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ke aliʻi Trojan, ʻo Tithon, ka mea i hoʻopili ʻia e ke akua o ke kakahiaka kakahiaka. He nani maoli lākou a pau, akā ʻo ka hiʻohiʻona wale nō i lanakila ai ke aloha o nā mea māla a me nā mea hoʻolālā ma nā wahi a puni Tundonia rotundifolia (Tundonia rotundifolia), no ka pua kupaianaha a me ka pua o ka mea nui he mea kūpono ʻole ka loaʻa ʻana o ka inoa o ka titonia nani.

ʻO nā titanium, a i ole sunflowers Mexico, he mau makahiki nui nui e kulu ana i nā lāʻau ulu a me nā mea nunui e pili ana i 1 mita a i ʻole ke kiʻekiʻe. Ma ka manawa like, ʻo ka lei i ka titonia he mea nani a hiki i ka kumu o ka lāʻau. Pula ulaula nā lālā, akā kokoke loa lākou ma lalo o nā mālala. ʻO nā lau nui o nā pua nani, kukui, saturated, e like me ka hou a me ka nani, hoʻomohala i kahi hiʻohiʻona nani loa no ka pua kupaianaha. Hoʻopili ʻia nā lau o ka titonia i ka ʻaoʻao o kēlā me kēia, ma ka petiole nani, e hilinaʻi ana i ka ʻano like ʻole, trilobate-cordate, ʻoi aku a liʻiliʻi paha. Kuhi ʻia ka maka o ka pua i ka lole silkika nani.

Noho wiwo ole nā kaiko pua a Mekiko. Ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā fru koʻikoʻi, hoʻokuʻu ka titonium i nā ʻāpana nui o nā waihona kālā hou. I ka titonia, e pua pū lākou i nā kuʻuna o nā ʻōpala a me nā koi o nā lau. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻokoʻa mai ke ʻano o ke ʻano, ʻaʻole i hui nā titony i nā mea me nā sunflowers. ʻOkoʻa loa kona mau holoholona, ʻoi aku ka mana o nā inflorescences i kēia mau lā a me ka wiwo ʻole. Ma ka anawa, ua hiki aku i nā ʻeke he 8 cm, a hiki i nā ʻano maʻalahi loa ke pau ka "wale nihi" 5 cm. Nā ʻōlima ʻo Reed i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i ka lālani hoʻokahi, nui, akā nāʻuʻuku akā liʻiliʻi a noho liʻiliʻi. ʻO ke ʻano o ka maka "petal" like me kahi dahlia. ʻO ke kala o nā petals petals, he mau aniani wale nō ma mua o ka ʻohe, no laila ʻoi aku ka nani o ka pua a pau. Hiki ke hopu iki ka ʻohu o ka titonia i kahi kokoke, akā he meaʻoluʻolu loa ia a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi. ʻO Peduncles he nui a ikaika loa, kiʻekiʻe loa.

Hoʻomaka ka hūkū pua o titonia i ka mahina o Iulai, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻoni ka Mekiko ma waena o ke ala waena ma ka hopena o ka mahina. Akā ʻo kāna nani a me kāna hanaʻilihune e hoʻopiha piha i ka lohi. Hoʻopau maoli ʻo Tithonia a hiki i ka hau ponoʻī, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea i hala e waiho i kahi o ka māla.

Hoʻohālikelike ka palette o nā kala tithonia i kahi gamut melemele-ʻalani-ʻula. ʻO nā kukui nani, acrylic me nā tio catchy maikaʻi e hoʻopiʻi maikaʻi i ke kala hou o nā lau greens a ʻae i ka nānāʻana mai kahi mamao aku.

ʻO nā kūlana eʻoluʻolu i ka titx mexican

E like me nā mea kanu Mekiko āpau, nui loa photophilous. Hiki ke kanu ʻia i nā wahi kūloko nani. ʻAʻole makaʻu kēia mea kanu i nā wahi hema, a me nā wahi wela loa. Eia kekahi, kahi i ka waena o wela, i ka lā iho, ʻo ka titonium ka mea maʻamau ʻoi loa ka maikaʻi.

Malia paha ʻo ke kāki wale ʻana o ka titonia ʻo ia kona like ʻole o nā hana kīnā. ʻAʻole hiki ke kanu ʻia kēia nani i nā wahi i pale ʻole ʻia a i nā wahi ʻino, pono iā ia e kū mālie a "noho mālie". Akā no ka mea maʻamau ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka titonium i ka mea i hoʻohanohano ʻia o nā pā a i nā pā, i loko o nā hale, ʻaʻohe pono o ka hopohopo e like me ke ʻano o ke ʻano ʻoluʻolu.

Hoʻokahi hou aku nā titonia: ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia kēia puke kauwela i ka ua anu a me ka ua. Ua ulu iki, ulu a lohi a paʻakikī nā pua. Akā hiki ʻole ʻoe e pākuʻi i nā hoʻohiki o ka mokulele i nā makahiki ʻino, no laila e mākaukau no ka minamina inā ʻaʻole maikaʻi ke kau iā ʻoe.

E mālama pono i ka lepo. Inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻokō hou aʻe i ka pua nui aʻe, e hoʻāʻo e hāʻawi i ka titonium me ka lepo kiʻekiʻe ʻoi aku - ʻaʻole ia ka hoʻoheheʻe wale ʻana a hemo wale nō, akā ʻoi nō hoʻi ka mahiai. ʻAʻole hoʻokipa ʻia ka wai hoʻonaninani no kēia mea kanu, e like me ka mea e kā ana i kahi palapala lepo kaumaha. E hoʻokō i ka ulu momona loa, ʻo ka lepo ma mua o ke kanu ʻana e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.

Nā hiʻohiʻona o ka kanu ʻana

ʻO nā huaʻumi nui a me nā mea kanu ulu. I mea e hoʻoulu ai i nā lāʻau lush i nā mea maikaʻi aʻe, pono lākou e hāʻawi i ka nui a me ke kūʻokoʻa. I ka kanu ʻana i nā mea kanu, pono ʻoe e nānā i kahi mamao i nā mea kanu kokoke mai kahi a 60 cm a i ʻole he liʻiliʻi aʻe.

Ma mua o ke kanu ʻana i ka lepo ma ke kahua o ka ulu lāʻau titonium, ka hoʻopili a me ka mahele o nā ʻāpana kōmole piha. E kāʻei i ka lepo ʻelua, hoʻoili. Kūkulu ʻia nā hua kanu i loko o nā pā liʻiliʻi maʻalahi, a inā pono, e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka kahawai - waiho i kahi papa wai ma ka lalo. He mea koʻikoʻi loa no ka titonia e ulu nā mea kanu me ka pae maʻamau o ka ulu ʻana.

Nā hiʻohiʻona no ka mālamaʻana i kahi ulu Mekiko

Pono ʻo Titonia e hoʻohālikelike ai i ke kākoʻo o ia mau lālā ikaika a loaʻa ka nui. Pono lākou e kaohi ʻia, pane wale i ka wā, akā ʻaʻole maʻamau. Inā ʻaʻohe wai, e lawo i nā kaʻina e mālama i kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka wai, akā ʻaʻole pinepine i ka wai i ka titonia pinepine. I ka wā lōʻihi, hiki ke hoʻōla i ka wai hoʻōla no ka wiki.

Ke kanu ʻia nei ka titonia i ka lepo momona loa, ʻaʻole pono e pono ke kapa a luna. Inā wale ʻoe i koho maikaʻi i ka lepo, kanu i ka titonium ma ka lepo liʻiliʻi, a laila no ka mea kanu ʻoe e pono ai e hoʻolālā i kahi kāʻei hou ʻekolu - i hoʻokahi mahina ma hope o ke kūleʻa ʻana, ma ke ʻano o ka wā uʻi a me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka pua.

I mea e hoʻokūkū ai i ka wai a me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka pono o ka irrigation i ka wā maloʻo, e mālama i ka mulching lepo. No ka titonia, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e hoʻohana i ka humus a i ʻole ka compost. ʻO ka ʻāpana mulch he 5-7 cm.

Inā hiki i ka titony keʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi mika a i kanu ʻoe iā lākou ma kahi pā makani, hiki nō i nā wana ke moe a lalo. Inā loaʻa nā hōʻailona o ka haunaele i ke ʻano o ka ulu lāʻau, pono e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka titonia, e hāʻawi ana i ke kākoʻo no nā ʻōpio kiʻekiʻe o ka mea kanu a i ʻole ka pua āpau i loko o kahi ala.

ʻAʻole pono ke kanu hua ʻōpio, ʻo ka pinching ʻaʻole mea ikaika loa: ʻo kēia manu lele he mea nani maoli a he nani i ke ʻano o kahi ulu lāʻau, a no ka hoihoi ʻana o kahi titonium wale nō nā pono kūpono e pono ai. Akā e wehe i nā kete o nā waihona o ka inflorescences e hoʻomau i ka nui o ka pua a hiki i nā frost āu e pono ai.

Ke ulu nei ʻo Titonia mai Seeds

Hiki ke hoʻopuʻi i ka Sunflower Mexico i hoʻokahi ala wale nō - lulu hua no nā hua. No ka ulu nui o ka wā, ʻaʻole hiki ke kanu kūpono ʻia ka titony i ka lepo i loko o ke kikowaena waena a i ka ʻākau.

Pono nā mea kanu Titonia no nā mea kanu i kanu ma ʻApelila, ma hope o ka hoʻomoʻa ʻana i nā hua ʻai no kahi lā. Pono e hoʻokō ʻia ka lula ʻana i ka waihona momona a maloʻo, me ka ʻole o ka hoʻomohū ʻana i nā hua kanu, akā ke kālai wale nei iā lākou i ka ʻili a me ka uhi ʻana me ka uhi lahilahi ʻoi o ka substrate. Ma hope o ka lūlū i ka titonia, pono e hoʻokō i ka hoʻōla nui, kau i nā ipu i ka hoʻomālamalama a me ka wela. Ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā lau 3-4, e pono ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka wai, maʻamau, pono lākou e hoʻokō ʻia me ka wai mahana. Ma hope o ka ulu ʻana, ua uhi ʻia nā mea kanu a ulu i mau hua maʻamau o nā mea lele. Hiki i ka ʻōmole ʻōpiopio ke hoʻoneʻe i ka ʻāina i loko o Iune, a i nā hihia koʻikoʻi paha, ma ka hopena o Mei.

Ma ka waena o ka ʻōlelo, ʻōlelo ʻia ke titonium e lūlū ʻia ʻole i loko o nā mea lawe, akā i nā hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo me nā kūlana semi-mahana i ʻApelila a ʻo Malaki paha, me nā hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo. E ʻoi aku ka ikaika o nā hua like. Lawe ʻia nā hua kanu kumuwaiwai i loko o nā ipu a me nā mea lawe, akā hiki i ka ulu mua ʻana i ka lepo ke loaʻa nā hopena kupaianaha hou.

Nā maʻi a me nā pōpoki

He kauwela paʻa ʻo Tithonia. Hoʻokomo wale ʻo ia i nā slugs, a i ka wā māla e aloha nui nei i ke aloha hou iā lākou iho me nā lau o kona ʻula, aphids a pala. Akā, no ka nānā ʻana o ka pilikia hope loa, pono mau e hana i nā ʻano me ka piha o ka lepo momona. Me ka ua mau ka lōʻihi o ka ua ʻana i kēia mea kanu, hiki i ka ʻāpana ʻeke o nā inflorescences hiki ke ʻapo. Inā ʻike ʻia nā hōʻailona o ka pōkole ma nā pua, a laila e ʻoki ʻia lākou i ka wā o ka nani, no ka mea, e pālahalaha koke ka maʻi i nā wana, e luku ana i ka mea āpau.
